LEADERSHIP
IN every field of human endeavor, he that is first must
perpetually live in the white light of publicity,
CWhether the leadership be vested in a man or in
a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever
at work. Cjn art, in literature, in music, in industry,,
the reward and the punishment are always the same;
CThe reward is widespread recognition; the punishment, fierce denial
and detraction. CWhen a man's work becomes a standard for the
whole world, it also becomes a target for the shafts of the envious few.
Clf his work be merely mediocre, he will be left severely aloneif he
achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million tongues a wagging
C Jealousy does not protrude, its forked tongue at the artist who pro-j
duces a commonplace painting. CWhatsoever you write, or paintr or
play, or sing, or build, no one will strive to surpass or to slanderyou;
unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius. CLong, long
after a great work, or a good work has been done, those who are dis
appointed or envious, continue to cry out that it can not be done;
CSpiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised against our own
Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed
him its greatest artistic genius. G. Multitudes flocked to Bayreuth to
worship at the musical shrine of Wagner, while the little group of.
those whom he had dethroned and displaced, argued angrily that he
was no musician at all. CThe little world continued to protest that
Fulton could never vbuild a steamboat, while the big world flocked to
river banks to see his boat steam by. CThe leader is assailed because
he is a leader, and the effort to equal him is merely added proof of
that leadership. C Failing to equal or to excel, the follower seeks t$
depreciate and to destroy but only confirms once more the superiority
of that which he strives to supplant, CThere is nothing new in this.1
CIt is as old as the world and as old as the human passions envy, fear,
greed, ambition, and the desire to surpass. C And it all avails nothing
Clf the'Jeader truly leads, he. remains the leader. C Master-poet;
master-painter, master-workman, each in his turn is assailed, and each
holds his laurels through the ages. CThat which is good or great
makes itself known, no matter how loud the clamor of denial.1 ,
CThat which deserves to live lives.
